What always strikes me as particularly nasty about rich fucks abusing people is that it would be trivial for the abusers to use their wealth and fame to get the experiences they ostensibly want with consenting adults.
Instead, they prey on vulnerable people, which suggests that transgression and power over others is the actual underlying feeling they're seeking and the sex or whatever is a secondary concern.
So given a choice between using privilege to seek novel experiences and using privilege to insulate themselves from the consequences of predatory experiences, many choose the latter.
Is this a particularly harmful instantiation of status games? It seems like largely the same dynamics at work.
This is a toot about Neil Gaiman, but also some very significant portion of the ruling classes more broadly. To wit, Epstein et al.

@ceresbzns Agreed. The domination and humiliation are the point. They don't want consent because that would ruin it for them
